With the acceptance of climate change as a security threat, more than one security risk may emerge in the same region. The Arctic is one of the geographies where climate change is felt the most and the security environment is gradually decreasing. Security concerns in the Arctic have resulted in NATO reaching the Russian border. While this situation is perceived as insecurity by Russia, it also means the end of NATO's Northern expansion.
With the Northern enlargement, four of the five Arctic countries became NATO members. However, the increase in the number of members in the Arctic does not mean that there will be no problems in this region. The disputed borders in the Arctic are very important for fisheries and important energy routes. For this reason, there are also problems that NATO member Arctic countries dispute among themselves. This study will analyse the geopolitical and geographical disputes among NATO members in the Arctic. Could the debates of the NATO quartet in the Arctic turn into a hot war in the future? The answer to the question will be searched.
